From the ashes I will rise

Sometimes in life we never know where we’re going. We never know what we’re doing to get to that place that we can’t see. All we know is that we just have to keep going. Keep going forward and whatever you do, don’t give up. Because giving up means that you’re weak.

You are not weak. Even when you feel like giving up. When everything you have given is no longer enough for the world and you are on the verge of giving it all up. You are NOT weak. Because even though you are on the verge, and even though you have all this doubt, fear, and all these feelings of worthlessness inside you; the very moment you become weak is when you go through with giving your life away.

Notice I say ‘giving your life away’, because God does not want us to give away our life but instead give our lives UP to Him.

You are not weak.

You are strong.

When you fall on your knees and you’re crying out to God, THAT is when you are strong.

I want you to think for a moment. Think for a moment about where you are and what you have done.

Now ask yourself are you happy or joyful? Because when you are happy it’s usually just for a quick moment. When you are happy it’s because of something that is happening in the present. But when you are joyful, you are filled with great pleasure, and excitement, in all your life. Not just in the moment but even after the moment is gone.

No one deserves a ‘happy’ life.

Everyone deserves a joyful life.

In life there will trials. There will be tribulations. But don’t let the trials infect your way of living, because then are you living or are you just existing?
